The electronic translation service on the Toronto District School Board website is hosted by Google Translate, a third party service. The TDSB does not guarantee or warrant the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any translated information.

The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 100 languages, but does not capture all languages or dialects.

The basic translation goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material. Before you act on translated information, we encourage you to confirm any facts that are important to you or may affect any decisions you make.

The Toronto District School Board is committed to equity and community engagement, and by providing this tool, we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English.

Funds Management

Funds management is an enhanced budgeting tool that we’ve recently implemented at the TDSB to improve controls on operational spending. Funds management helps schools and central departments avoid overspending on their budgets by sending warning messages when the percentage of funds used reaches a certain level.

For example, if a school or central budget reaches 75% spent, the person performing the transaction, and his/her principal or manager, receives an email alert. Alerts will continue to be sent as higher percentages are reached. Budgets will not be permitted to exceed 100% spent.

The implementation of funds management will help schools and central departments stay within their financial limits and make responsible spending decisions.
